[ESIP-AQ] Air Quality Community Metadata Record - ISO 19115-1 Updates | Move toward a controlled vocabulary | Call tomorrow 10 am ET

[Bigagli Lorenzo]

Hi Erin,

I guess you mean 10am EDT (16 in Rome)?
I hope some of us will be able to join the call, tomorrow. In any case, we'll catch up with the minutes.

Best regards,
  Lorenzo

Along with the ISO updates, our AQ record had taken an initial approach to keywords that wasn't controlled or extensible and didn't leverage the ISO 19115 standard. I have attempted to update our record to -1 and start migrating our internal names to thesauri by updating the syntactic framework (in prep for community decided vocabulary) and where possible unburdened keywords and moved terms to their proper places in the standard, allowing for other standard search facilities to leverage our metadata.

If this topic is of interest the update details are below and we are having a call tomorrow, 10 am ET, to talk more specifically and practically about the details described below. Call-in info is at the very end of this note.

Running the xsl also means that many of you can see what the updated metadata means for your data. Next steps include:

> - The entire metadata flow is then updated by routine harvesting procedure 
> - Metadata records are updated by providers to include links to projects, datasets, platforms etc. 
> - continue to build documentation (GEO AIP II, AIP II Discovery, AGU 2009) which will be helpful for the formal publication of the process by which the AQ discovery ISOs were developed.

> - after all these steps (and years) the AQ CoP could formally declare the AQ discovery (and to some extent usage) ISO's to be 'done' for now; publish it, describe it, set up governance, maintain it... as a key activity of the AQ CoP.
